3 stunning waterfront acres with a former church (now a family retreat) on Town Creek in Beaufort NC. Abandoned waterfront train track bed perfect for up to 3 pop ups or sprinter vans! 10 minute walk to Beaufort Docks - or bike or kayak! Also really nice grassy tent sites under the magnificent live oak trees. Very special place in the #1 small coastal town in America. **All sites have water & electricity.

A real slice of paradise. The tidal creek was perfect for paddling and the sites are a short walk from downtown Beaufort. Quiet, relaxing, peaceful place. We'll be back again!

Camping on John’s land was great! And the views were spectacular! The luminous lights in the trees were a special touch.
